Continuation to my Star Wars alternative timeline.


And now for the Rise of the Sith Empire:

When Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine were dead it was thought that the Sith were gone. But it's never that simple. Asajj Ventress, Assassin and Dark Jedi who had been denied true Sith Training by Count Dooku had disappeared some time before. When she learned that her master was dead she started to look into the Sith mythology on her own, eventually ending up on Korriban. There she found the Holocrons and Ghosts of ancient Sith Lords...

Twenty years passed. The Galaxy was still at war. The Republic had become an oppressive dictatorship under the rule of the Master Regent Windu and his Pure Knights. The CIS in turn had been renamed CAS when the Renegade Order had joined them in order to create a new Republic. And all the while they never knew that a new Sith Order was gaining power behind their backs.

When the backwater worlds suddenly started to renounce their support to either side it was already too late. Under the rule of Empress Darth Hssiss, the numbers of the Sith had grown enough for them to claim a region of their own.

If you read my last entry you are now on the way to my alternative timeline to Star Wars Universe. Today we see what happened to the Jedi Order.

The Last Council and who they followed:
Windu
Kenobi
Yoda
Skywalker (Windu)
Stass Allie (Windu)
Shaak Ti (Windu)
Plo Koon (Yoda)

A'Sharad Hett (Windu)
Even Piell (Yoda)
Tsui Choi (Kenobi)
Aayla Secura (Kenobi)
Luminara (Kenobi)

Coleman Kcaj (Missing - Presumed Dead)
Ki-Adi-Mundi (D - Mygeeto, Group of Droidekas)
Agen Kolar (D - Palpatine)
Kit Fisto (D - Palpatine)
Saesee Tiin (D - Palpatine)

What became of the Jedi Order.

When Master Windu decided to take control of the Republic he called forth a Council Meeting to discus the situation. Unfortunatily three of the council members had died in the duel with the Sith traitor and two were unavailable. Later it was learned that Master Ki-Adi-Mundi had perished while leading a charge against the droid army on Mygeeto. The fate of Coleman Kcaj remained mystery forever more. In the event of such losses five Jedi Generals were called to attend the meeting as temporary council members. These were Master Even Piell, who had resigned his seat earlier, Masters Tsui Choi and Luminara Unduli, and Knights A'Sharad Hett and Aayla Secura.

But the meeting didn't go as planned for Windu. Over half the reformed Council defied his leadership of the Republic. They did not understand that it was the only way to save the Republic. Some even dared to accuse him of falling to the Dark Side. It indeed appeared that the most vocal of these accusations arose from envy and fear. The once great Jedi Master had been corrupted even worse than Senate.

As the Council took sides the arguments became heated, and not long after the two sides had declared eachother heretics and exiled from the Order. Those loyal to Windu took control of the Jedi Temple with the help of the Clone Army that was now under Windu's direct command. The others fled, but to Windu's horror most of the Order followed them. The whole Order had been corrupted by the Dark Side. But now, he had the Pure around him and they could start rebuilding the Order to what it was supposed to be.

The Outcasts following Yoda and Kenobi found themselves on Alderaan where they started the construction of a new Temple. But as years progressed and it became more and more apparent that the once great Jedi Master Windu and his followers had indeed been lost to the Dark Side, the Outcasts were unable to decide how to act. Yoda and few others deemed it necessary to observe the situation and not haste into action whereas Kenobi demanded that they actively oppose the Dark Jedi. Eventually the two groups separeted in peace and Yoda's followers left to find isolation somewhere.

Eventually Kenobi's Order joined the CIS, as did many planetary governments who could not accept the new ways of the Republic. And so the war escalated, and with Jedi on both sides it became a new Jedi Civil War.

I had a... well, vision would be a good word as any, about an alternative timeline to Star Wars Galaxy. In this timeline, Mace Windu killed Palpatine. Here's a short story about this:

Even the greatest can fall.

Jedi Master Windu, paragon of the Order, had won. The Sith Lord laid at his feet, under his purple blade. The monster pleaded for his life but Windu knew better than to listen such a creature. Even the young Knight who was with him tried to dissuade him from executing this abomination. But he had to do it. It was the only way. The Master raised his sword, ready to strike when the Force suddenly gave him a warning. Treachery! As he brought the saber down he suddenly changed it's direction and blocked the Knight's blade with it. With his other hand he reached for the Force and electrocuted the treasonous Chancellor. The young Knight however was still redeemable, so Master Windu let him live. It took only a serious talk to see that the Sith had indeed tried to corrupt Skywalker, but he was strong and Windu needed all the good Jedi in the upcoming days.

It was obvious that the Senate had been corrupted. As much as it felt wrong to him, Windu knew that he had to take reins in his hands. So he gathered a group of Knights and marched to the Senate calling an emergency meeting. There he told them what had transpired and that in the interest of Common Good he would take the Republic under his command until the war was over and a new Chancellor could be appointed with proper proceedings.

Convincing the Senate was the easy part. The Council meeting, with those few who were still alive was harder. It seemed that some of the Masters didn't believe in is justification. Indeed, it was apparent that some of them had even fallen to the Dark Side, making weak excuses why he shouldn't take the leadership. It was so obvious that they just wanted to set him aside and take it themselves.

Somehow it all ended with the Council breaking up, both sides exiling the other. The Jedi Order had broken. One part followed Master Windu for the Greater Good. They knew this had to be done for the Republic to survive. One part left with Master Yoda to seek isolation and reform the true Jedi Order. And one part stayed with Master Kenobi to actively oppose Windu's madness.

But the war escalated, and Grand Master Windu had to make hard choices, especially about hunting the renegade fallen Jedi who followed Traitor Kenobi. It became a civil war of Jedi, but it could not be avoided. To stamp out morale issues and dissidence, for the Greater Good, Grand Master had to issue martial law and suppress the freedom of speech. He had to save the Republic.

Two decades later.

The galaxy stands divided. The Confederacy of Allied Systems and the Galactic Republic both hold their grounds. The Order of Pure Jedi does their best to stamp out the Renegade Order who joined the Alliance not long after Grand Master reformed the Order. Both the mighty CAS Droid Army and the infinite Clone Army of the Republic fight an unending war on the frontier space. Grand Master Windu has been forced to hard choices, but everything he has done, has been for the good of the Republic. His greatest asset was Master Skywalker, the strongest Jedi in all history, and was very efficient hunting the Renegades. But the Fallen were numerous and he could not foresee an end to the war any time soon.

The third Order, Yoda's cowards, had hidden themselves and shrouded the Force. They were of no immediate concern to Windu, but he knew he had to deal with them one day. They too had fallen, for fear was the beginning on the road to the Dark Side. And what other reason they could have had to hide, than fear.

The war rages on...
